Cheapest Alprazolam in the world, I had of course previously been inspired by a number of well-known artists, Cindy Sherman and Francesca Woodman for instance, but I remember seeing Joanne’s work inspired me all over again, cheap Alprazolam pills.“Notraces’ long exposure photography inspired me to try my hand at that, Purchase Alprazolam online, and continue to work on it until I started getting more than just mediocre results. “
And last but not least, Antimethod (Cole Rise) was probably the first person on Flickr whose work left me speechless. Opened my eyes to a lot of things, and I admire him greatly.”
David Hobby

John Watson, who uses the name FD on Flickr, is famous for his huge range of Flickr tools.

Julie Kertesz
Photography: Julie Kertesz
French photographer Julie Kertesz might not be as well known as Rebekka or Strobist, but it’s her attitude that we like. Buy Alprazolam, Julie was already over 70 when she discovered blogging and Flickr which was then still in Beta. In addition to her blog called “Il ya de la vie après 70 ans” (“There is life after 70”), she also created groups called

The Strobist Flickr group actually has over 50,000 members.

I disagree with your decision to use the title: The 5 Most Inspiring People on Flickr
Flickr has soo many amazing artists on there so I was really ready to be wowed. I understand what you were trying to convey, but I dont think these 5 are the most inspiring people on Flickr.
I could start naming some, but it would be hard to stop at 5.

Very flattering. Thanks for the mention!
May 6th, 2009 at 1:28 am
They are inspiring people who take splendid photos! Thanks for sharing them.
Oh, by the way, you didn't link to David Bean's flickr page.
May 6th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Yeah, I think you have to be careful with your title as well. Hell, back in 2006 I posted a photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/houser/148461795/), to which someone named Tess J. commented on. She ended up driving across country in four days to meet me, and we've been together ever since. We even produced a little project of our own (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bytess/2982035628/)
The people you point out are certainly some of the most well known or most noted people in Flickr. Calling David Hobby influential is almost redundant. But there are _SO_ many amazing photographers - not people who take a good shot, but people who produce images with amazing stories and emotion.
To single out just five that everyone has heard of seems lazy. Pick 10 we probably _haven't_ heard of.... but should!
May 6th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
I know this is just one list, but really. Can you limit it to such a short list? There are way more inspiring people than what's here. Most of them are unknowns!
May 7th, 2009 at 3:26 am
Thanks for writing about me, in the Afterclass group at Flickr, we are now at the 36th month of MasterClasses about photography: everyone is welcome to join, one can learn a lot: I know, I did, trying out through the weeks, days, the different proposed methods by photographers all over the world, from Japan, to California, Leeds UK or Paris, India and South Africa.
My example proves also: one can begin photography at any age: I was almost 70 when I begun.

Very interesting article & great artists! Thanks for the inspiration
May 14th, 2009 at 9:06 am
It's great to be inspired, and it's great to meet or follow inspiring people, they add depth to my experience as a photographer.
I'd only heard of Strobist before so I look forward to finding out more about the other 4.
Thanks for the list

Many time I turn back to filckr to get inspiration of my blog ideas,there is a nice photographers who share good creation,thank you for the article
July 8th, 2009 at 11:18 am
That is a pretty touching story. I've been on flickr for a while now, and I can't imagine meeting someone like that through my photography, although I'm sure that would be awsome. I always wanted to meet another photographer to see if they would inspire me or not. I wonder what it would be like to be in a relationship with another photographer.

Thomas Hawk is pretty good.

We got married last month

I think I'm with those who wondered about the title of your interesting piece. Perhaps something like "Five Inspiring People on Flickr" or "Five Flickr People Who Inspire" might have been a bit more on track.
The thing about Flickr and similar community sites is not that they give us the (1, or) 5 (or 10, or some other number of) overall best of anything. Rather, they put together such diverse resources that almost anyone can find something that is powerful and inspiring for them - and others may find completely different sources of inspiration there at the same time.
Take care,

hi james taylor,
]guitar plays...]
i happened upon a comment you'd left in response to a young man who was interested in becoming a wedding photographer. other readers slammed his slim list of equipment. you did not. way to go you! your writing/insight is dead-on and totally usable.
on a flickr love story note: october 12, 2005, i received a message in my flickr mailbox. this was just two weeks after i opened my account. i replied. he replied. i replied, he replied. two weeks later he booked a ticket to come see me. our first date was three weeks long. by the end of it we knew. within a few months i'd taken leave from my job, moved to england from tucson. less than two years later, we married, and our toddler is just over 21 months old.
the first flickr baby? i'd love to know...
keep up the fab work. 'good on you' for encuraging, encouraging, encouraging...
cheers,
kresta

The images from these people are truly awful and ordinary.
The last image is out of focus. I feel sad that these photographers are regarded as some thing to aspire to. There are much better and more talented photographers around than this bunch.
If you seek inspiration from these photographers then your own photography will never improve.
April 14th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Thank you for your continued advice and guidance. I am trying to come back to an arena I left before digital became the ruling class. I appreciate and admire the inspirational articles you produce.
It just goes to show, flies like honey more than vinegar.
June 14th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
David Hobby has always been one of my personal favorites. His teachings have really led me to be a much better photographer no longer scared to use interesting lighting schemes on my photography shoots.
July 21st, 2010 at 5:08 am
